The foot certainly, at the very least should be removed. You could inject the toes for commercial work, but I still skin them out to the nails. Then I insert tiny rolls of frozen Critter Clay and break them off till they thaw. Then I fill the foot with clay and fit it over the mannikin. I only use John David Ellzeys' forms.
